Healing the Broken Highlander by Ann Marie Scott

His body needs a healer, his soul needs a lover.
Ferra McLeish is the youngest of three sisters and the only one who still resists marriage. She has been learning how to be a healer since she was a young girl, and she wants to dedicate her life to her craft against her family’s wishes. Thus, it is no wonder why Ferra feels immense joy when her father tells her that she will be practicing her healing skills. However, she never thought she would be practicing on her… husband!

The announcement makes her picture her new betrothed as a very old Laird who needs constant care, and Ferra is preparing herself for a living nightmare. Yet, when she gets to her new home, it appears that her man could not have been further from what she had prepared for. A Highlander in his early thirties with red hair and piercing blue eyes, build like a warrior, lies on a bed… Kaiden McGregor was a fearsome fighter before he was almost killed in a battle, and now his leg is injured to the point he can’t get out of bed. The worst part is that Kaiden has been a warrior all his life, and now that he can not even move on his own, he feels as if he has no purpose in life. Ferra can help his body heal but healing his mind is a challenge she has never encountered before.

Convincing him to even try to improve his situation requires effort, but the two begin to find common ground. As Kaiden starts feeling better and better, Ferra starts questioning whether recovering fully will be good for him; Her husband is convinced that he must fight again, and Ferra knows that this might mean losing him forever. Healing his body will have no effect if Kaiden keeps being reckless, and if helping him will enable him to risk his life again, Ferra is unsure whether she can be part of it.
